Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis: Haye Deserves Vitali Klitschko Shot

[yoz]

He didn't need to, Sanders did a better job than Lewis against Vitali.

Lewis did pretty well, TBH. Given that he was out of shape/disinterested...

A well-trained Lewis would have stopped Vitali (without the Dr. intervening); heck, if the fight had gone on, he would have probably T/KOd him.

You know what I think??? All anyone on here heard after Vitali-Chisora was "If Haye fights and beats someone like Chisora, than he can fight Vitali". Haye fought Chisora and stopped him.

Like it or not, Haye would be Vitali's best win. It's not a great win, but it'd be a good win.

Still though, if Haye doesn't land the Vitali fight, why not fight Povetkin, Adamek/Cunningham, Boytsov, Fury, Price, etc.

Klitschko fans talk about Vitali's loss to Lewis like he was getting shut out and like Vitali actually won. They are yet to realize Lewis ended up stopping Vitali and won 2 rounds at the least. And this was a past prime and way out of shape Lennox Lewis. That's why I laugh at the people who think prime versions of Wlad and Vitali beat every other HW prime for prime in any era. Wlad got KO'd by Sanders and Vitali lost 2-3 rounds against a way past it and out of shape Lennox. Prime for prime, Lennox beats both Klitschko's.

This ^^^^^^^^.




Back on topic, though, I still think Vitali would UD Haye.

Well that's precisely it, according to Haye they're beneath him, which is double-speak for:

"I may get caught, reduce my marketing value and never get another big Klitschko payday"

In short, he's scared of losing, similar to another well-known fighter.

I've honestly never seen a person so openly butt-hurt about a certain fighter than you. Even in threads with nothing to do with him, not even remotely close to the same weight class, you try and talk s**t.

Comparing Haye and Floyd is just ignorant. Even if they have crappy attitudes, Haye should never belong in a conversation with Floyd.

Get over it and grow up. Move on with your life. It was 5 years ago this December. I think you're suffering from PTSD because of Floyd-Hatton, given your recovery is taking so long.

I'd like to see Haye-Povetkin, mind. I know he's hyped-up, but i'd fancy Haye to stop him.

Thats understandable, surely? Why take the risk when a prospective fight with Vitali is in the offing?

Its the biggest fight at HW (in terms of $$$) at the moment.

Name another British fighter who refuses to fight other contenders in case he'd miss out on a payday down the line?

Besides that, how long is he going to wait? he's already said that if can't get one of them he's not interested in fighting other contenders, i.e. he'll retire.

I'd like to see Haye-Povetkin, mind. I know he's hyped-up, but i'd fancy Haye to stop him.

I'd fancy Haye to beat a lot of those other contenders too, he is a top fighter and it would strengthen his legacy and boost the popularity of the sport as well as his own but he's not interested in that.

All he's interested in is the money from a Klitschko bout, he doesn't even care which one as long as he gets another payday.

I've honestly never seen a person so openly butt-hurt

Now re-read your own post.

LL is speaking from a fighters perspective. As fighters, we all know it is common knowledge that haye would de-turd Vitali with speed and power. The Chisora example is just one of many proving Haye is far superior to Vitali. It's only the internet ****boys who need a hero that look to Vitali as their savior to beat up the representation of all the men who have stolen their women and chumped them off in public, and build the Klitchkos up as some sort of force. In reality, the alphabet organizations are in their pockets. The belts are for sale, and the Klits are the highest bidders. Thats why they get to choose who they fight and when. Hell, they even get to choose who their "mandatory" challengers are. In one sentence you toads complain about how the belts are so corrupt, in the next you brag about the Klits beoing "Champions". Only 1 Klit ever fought for a true Heavyweight Championship, and he got de-balled and quit as always, just making the doctor do the dirty work. Haye is Heavyweight boxing, like it or not it's just the way it is. Anyone who disagrees is simply a gutless turd with ****-****** fantasies about the Klitchkos breaking into their rooms, naked, and beating up all the bullies in their lives. So sad.

Just another beyond ****** comment! And may I suggest that you find yourself a ***ual in nature forum because you are obviously posting on the wrong forum.
